jquery/livequery not working in this particular case

Question

Using jquery, all of my other livequery functions work fine, i am getting an error for this particular one...

$("[class*='welcome']").livequery("click", function(e){   etc.......

The error is:

Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'livequery'

is it because of the wildcard? or a general jquery error?

Thank you

do you include `livequery` in your document? and wrap all of your jQuery code within `$(document).ready(function() { .. })`? — thecodeparadox, Jul 28 '12 at 13:26

If what you want to do is

Attach an event handler for all elements which match the current selector, now and in the future

Then this is the appropriate syntax:

$(document).on("click", "[class*='welcome']", function() {
    // do stuff
});

jQuery's live() function used to be the way to go, but it has been deprecated in favor of on() as of jQuery 1.7.
